"Detective Kang."
"What, again?"
I looked at the class president, who was stretching and holding an envelope of materials in his hand. He suddenly dropped the envelope on my desk.
"Me again?"
It had only been three hours since I'd wrapped up a case, and I was getting annoyed at the foreman assigning me another case.
"Smile. What do you want me to do when you hear about this case?"
"What, is this a murder case?"
He checked the data. He confirmed it was a murder case and looked at it with a disapproving look.
"Sir, we're in the narcotics unit. Why are you handing over the murder case to us?"
"This opponent is also a drug smuggler. He's already been wanted."
"And I took on the case together with the violent crimes unit."
"If you're going to do it with the violent crimes unit, I won't do it. Just have Detective Kim or Detective Park do it."
"Not a request, but an order."
"...under."
"This case is very complicated. Detectives Kim and Park are also involved, so don't even think about getting left out."
I had no choice. This case seemed like it would be quite a headache. I felt uneasy, but I figured I'd just have to quickly arrest him and get it over with.
"Oh, I hate seeing those guys from the violent crimes unit."

Conference room. The violent crimes unit and the narcotics unit are all gathered in one place.
"As you can see, Han Joong-seok murdered Ji Yoon-ah at the ☆☆ Hotel, and traces of drug use were found on Ji Yoon-ah's body."
"The relationship between the two was confirmed to be romantic, and he murdered his lover, Ji Yoon-ah, for an unknown reason. An order was given from above to quickly capture Han Joong-seok, who had fled overseas."
"Huh. You ended up causing a big accident."
Han Joong-seok, the son of the Speaker of the National Assembly, frequently visited the police station for minor incidents. Because he was the Speaker's son, he usually got away without incident, but he ended up in this major accident.
"It's an overseas business trip... but do we really need this many people? Honestly, it seems a bit excessive."
Kim Namjoon, who had been quiet, opened his mouth. Everyone seemed to agree with his words.
"It seems that there are people who have joined hands with Han Joong-seok in the place he fled to. Their identities and number of people have not been confirmed yet. Therefore, all of these people must go."
"Still, there are eight detectives..."
Did Taehyung talk back to Min Yoongi's words? Min Yoongi said this to everyone.
"Three days. We have to wrap this up in three days."
"...? What is that?"
It was ridiculous. It takes half a day just to get overseas, and now we have to investigate, even though the criminal might be working with someone behind the scenes. And they want us to wrap it up in three days?
"It looks like National Assembly Speaker Han Kyung-jin is at it again. It's like the Speaker of the National Assembly is protecting his own son even when he commits murder."
"...Watch your mouth."
"Did I misspeak? I heard everything. I was told from above to just bury it if I couldn't finish it in three days."
Jimin's words silenced the crowd. I'm tired of seeing corruption among those in high positions, but this case, despite its seriousness, was a case that the higher-ups couldn't possibly be pleased with.
"I wonder if it's really necessary. Honestly, it's impossible to finish it in three days, even with so many detectives. So, let's not waste our energy on this, since it'll just be buried anyway."
"...Honestly, I agree with Detective Kang, but that doesn't mean we can just sit back and do nothing, right?"
Kim Seok-jin suggested that we behave appropriately for the positions we occupy. He urged us not to become like those above us.
"Ha, since when did the violent crimes unit start caring about that kind of thing? lol... So when did they start?"
"What, didn't you hear what Chief Min said? We're leaving in an hour."
"What the hell is this?"
Yeo-ju looked at Min Yoon-gi with a dumbfounded expression as Jeong Ho-seok spoke while looking at the clock on the wall.
"Ugh... I forgot."
"This person???"
I didn't even prepare, and you're telling me I have to leave in an hour?
